How to effectively manage your Boss so that he can trust you?
Today, the secret to have a successful career is not only about efficiently manage your direct reports, but also successfully managing up the hierarchy (often your boss). Employees should not fear their managers, but instead build a trusting relationship with them. This "trust building" process needs to be done progressively so that your boss can stop micro-managing and instead empowering you.
Stay calm even when everything around you is in a state of chaos. When everything is falling apart and breaking down, the last thing you want to do is lose your cool. It is easy to be great when things are calm but if you truly want to stand out, the smart thing is to learn to be calm in the chaos.
Be a consistently positive force. Discipline yourself to seek the positive in every situation. Think, speak, and act with positivity. When everyone else is complaining about an unreasonable restriction, find the work-around. It makes you a valuable team member and sets you apart.
In short, treat your relationship with your boss as you would any other important relationship in your life. Invest time, energy, and creativity into making them happy, show your best self as much as possible, and create the habits in yourself that cultivate trust.
